Pendant Necklaces

A pendant necklace works the way a small painting does, except you carry it around your neck.

This collection brings the same studio aesthetic you will find in our wall art into something you can actually wear — original designs sublimated onto flat aluminum inserts, set in silver-finish bezels, and ready to wear straight out of the box on a coordinating silver-toned chain.

Designs span gothic, bookish, dark academia, wildlife, and seasonal themes. A scholarly capybara reading by candlelight for the bibliophile who needs their jewelry to match their reading life. A Krampus peering through a frost-covered window for the person who decorates against the grain.

Cozy woodland animals — fox, mouse, duck, bunny, moose, bear, and squirrel — dressed in plaid winter scarves for the nature lover who prefers their wildlife illustrated with personality. Christmas book stacks, vintage snowmen, and a peace dove on sheet music for the seasonal collector who takes their holiday jewelry as seriously as their holiday decor.

Every pendant comes in round and square formats with chain length options of 16 inches for a collarbone sit or 24 inches for a longer layering length. The artwork is sublimated directly onto a flat aluminum insert — ink bonded into the metal itself, no glass dome, no peeling, no fading with wear.

Questions About Our Pendant Necklaces

What shapes and chain lengths are available? Every pendant comes in two shapes and two chain lengths. Round pendants measure 1 inch and square pendants measure 1.1 inches. Both are available on a 16 inch chain for a collarbone sit or a 24 inch chain for a longer layering length.

How is the artwork applied and will it fade or peel? The design is professionally sublimated directly onto a flat aluminum insert, bonding the ink into the metal itself. There is no glass dome, no cabochon, and no adhesive layer. The finish will not peel, flake, or fade with everyday wear. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to clean.

Are these necklaces waterproof? No. Remove your pendant necklace before showering, swimming, or washing hands. Store in a dry place away from perfume, lotion, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals to maintain the finish over time.

Are these made in the USA? Yes. Every pendant necklace is designed, printed, and assembled in our Henniker, New Hampshire studio. All designs are original and exclusive to Designs by Linda Nee.

Do these make good gifts? These are one of our most gifted accessories. They work well as birthday gifts, holiday gifts, stocking stuffers, teacher gifts, and book club presents for book lovers, dark academia fans, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates jewelry with a story behind it. All orders qualify for free shipping on orders over $50.
